What’s coming · 16 entries, no dates

What’s coming, and how sure we are.

Everything below is either being built, decided on, or thought about — it says which. There are no dates, because we ship when it’s ready and that varies. When something lands it moves to the Trail Log, where you can see the commit that did it.

Being built now5

Real work, already in the repo, with a branch or a decision behind it.

  • building

    More shapes, and shapes you can turn

    A triangle, a star with as many points as you want, and a handle on every shape so you can rotate it. Hold Shift and it snaps.

  • building

    Send a photo to your other device

    One photo from your phone to your desktop, one tap — and the server forgets it as soon as the other machine has it.

  • building

    Offline

    Open the editor with no connection at all and keep working. The engine already runs on your machine; this is the last piece that doesn't.

  • Smart Brush

    Strokes that stop at an edge. Already behind a flag.

  • Blur on the graphics card

    The same blur, on the GPU where there is one. Already behind a flag.

Decided, waiting its turn6

Chosen and written down. Not started.

  • decided

    Bring your own typeface

    Upload a font and use it on your text. The editor learned to load fonts at runtime this month; this is the half that lets you choose one.

  • decided

    Camera data, handled properly

    Read and write the information your camera embeds — keep it, strip it, or drop just the location — without leaving the tab.

  • decided

    Rename a batch with a look at each photo

    The AI rename pass, finished: it looks at the image, not just the filename.

  • decided

    Photoshop's blend modes

    Multiply, screen, overlay and the rest, on real layer stacks.

  • decided

    Talk to it

    Say what you want changed instead of finding the tool.

  • decided

    Your own tools, plugged in

    A plugin door, so a tool someone else writes can sit in the toolbar beside the built-in ones.

Thinking about it5

Ideas with reasons behind them and no timeline.

  • exploring

    Record what you did, then do it to a hundred photos

    Macro recording, so an edit becomes something you can replay across a folder.

  • exploring

    Every version of a photo, as a tree

    Not just undo — every branch you took, kept and walkable.

  • exploring

    Two people, one photo, at the same time

    The furthest thing on the list, and the one everything else is quietly building toward.

  • exploring

    Photoshop files, in and out

  • exploring

    Color-blind-safe previews

How this list stays honest

  • 1Every entry shows its state. Being built, decided, or thinking about it — you can tell the difference.
  • 2No dates. A missed date is worth less than the honesty it costs.
  • 3Nothing goes up the code can't already partly do — unless it's marked as something we're thinking about.
  • 4Entries retire. Shipped moves to the Trail Log in the same release. Abandoned comes off and says so once.
